Renewable Power Resources within Florida
and Alachua County
What are the needs, and why
Alternative Energy Subcommittee - Energy Conservation Strategies Commission of Alachua County
Why “Within” Florida
• Renewables either have to be imported or be produced within the State
• Import limits into peninsular Florida from Georgia are limited at approx. 4,600 MW and are fully subscribed
• Building new EHV transmission is problematic as well as expensive
Alternative Energy Subcommittee - Energy Conservation Strategies Commission of Alachua County
Impetus for RenewablesBoth Administrative and perceived
• Governor’s Executive Order to reduce fossil fuel consumption to Year 2000 level
• Governor’s request that Public Utility Commission impose a Renewable Portfolio Standard that 20% of ALL electric energy to be provided by renewables
• Recognition by citizenry of need to limit greenhouse gas emissions
• Economic effects of importing all fuelsAlternative Energy Subcommittee - Energy Conservation Strategies Commission of Alachua County
